  1. I was on one of those wee guided tours in Paris (was class btw) and the fella took us to the "famous" bridge from Sex And The City. Turns out that the "tradition" of putting a lock on that bridge started with that series, which made out that it was an old parisian tradition.
  2. The classic "what do I drink first" dilemma.
  3. 1983 Edward Snowden Kim Jong Un Mila Kunis Alice Braga (actress I really fancy) Henry Cavill. (actor I fancy probably more than oor Alice ) Looking forward to the chat between Ed and Kim.
  4. Bloody hell. I went to a Sounders game back in 2014 and was sat about 20 rows back from this chap. It was just odd having everybody being led through songs. Orwellian. I would have VAR before I'd have this pish at scottish games.
  5. Wasn't sure where to put this, but Adam Miller's "Scottish Cup Facts" is quite simply horrendous. Only An Excuse levels of comedy. The Mark Nelson bit had me cringing so hard it was like an out of body experience. Terrible terrible stuff.
  6. Elvis Juice is delicious. It's a grapefruity thing, but the balance makes it more refreshing than fruity.
  7. Get it right fuckin up you. I fuckin hate that p***k. I was feeling decidedly sanguine about this game, even a bit bored. Proper rage reaction when I saw this cheating chunt's face though. I'm now going full Kevin Keegan and I hope we absolutely pump youse.
  8. Looking forward to the s & b pehs, the train down and testing the windproofing on my new winter jaisket . The fitba itself I can take or leave tbh.
  9. Aye I dare say it will. Delighted we avoided them tbh.
  10. Love bombing. Being super intense at the start and overwhelming the person with affection. It's seen as a tactic used by "narcissists" to hook a person in. The problem with this view is that it's viewed as conscious and deliberate, as if the person doing it had hatched an evil plan. The reality is that it tends to be largely unconscious and is part of a collection of very wounded attachment behaviours. Ghosting. Aye. Not answering calls and texts. Same as above in that it's viewed nefariously rather than as part of a wounded attachment profile. Obviously it's painful and confusing to be on the other end of it, but it isn't helpful to anyone to attach villainous meaning to it.
  11. Aye I'm giving that a shot in the hope that the thieves aren't very clever. Cheers pal
  12. Came on to this to actually post that my bike got nicked today. Gutted about it as I've had it for 12 years and built it up myself (upgrading over the years and getting a custom paintjob too). Raging as it was nicked from my close and just happened to be the night I forget to lock it up (was tired after work and forgot). Polis know about it, but I have little faith in its return. I was massively grief stricken earlier, but after a good greet about it I've got a bit of perspective. So I'll start saving for a new one. But f**k man, this is the first time in over 20 years I've been sans velo. Aye. Pretty gutted still.
  13. This kind of shaming behaviour is awful. Ghosting and love bombing (I have until very recently engaged in both and am in fact still very capable of it) isn't very nice to be on the other end of, but there's something deeply (and ironically) narcissistic about reacting by seeking to destroy someone publicly like that. It's Mean Girl type schoolgirl pish, but is potentially and hugely harmful.
  14. I went to one of those a few years back and tbf it was an excellent night out. Frightened Rabbit played and it was all very well done.
  15. @Tam M as a non driver (I cycle, and I'm a fucking impeccable road user, before anycunt starts ) the only one I can relate to is the first one of the boy chasing you to the car park. That's something you can report to the police and said c**t will get points on his license. Tailgating you is pretty threatening behaviour, but road rage is something that gets you points. I would defo have let him have his heart attack tbf. The level of anger from some motorists is ridiculous though.
  16. Aye I dont see the issue here. Unless you're needing clothes urgently having them hung up by the time you get home seems fine. I was expecting this to end with her just leaving them in the machine or, worse, in a pile by the machine.
  17. Worst: Relegation to the second division in 1998. The Save the Jags campaign got us back from the brink that season, but relegation had me fearing the absolute worst. Best: Back to back promotions under Lambie. The First Division winning season in 2001/2002 is my favourite ever season. A cup semi final too with memorable victories along the way. I loved that team
  18. Saw the thread title, so who the OP was and I was rubbing my hands in anticipation of another heid's gone around trolleys or somesuch. Gutted to see a semi sensible and topical discussion break out.
  19. Away and take your face for a shite. The e the end softens the s which is how it should be pronounced (see also use, ruse, peruse, muse, rise). Well up for a square go to settle this (but being a posh c**t I'd suggest somewhere in strathbungo rather than that awful Ruel St).
  20. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Ragnick, if he gets the gig permanently, punting McGuire and giving the captaincy to McTominay.
  21. The love of tennent's on this site is a curious one. It used to be regarded with proper disdain and was the cheap option for a pint in almost every pub. Since then they've really upped their advertising and gimmickry and it's now beloved. Anyone else feel like a pint after reading this thread?
  22. Fierce is great tbf. They do a coffee stout that's delectable.
  23. Good point. I found myself listening to a Megan Thee Stallion number and every third word was "f**k". I swear like a trooper, but would mainly expect songwriters to come up with some creative wordplay, especially rappers. Modern pop music turns me into a raging Da' though. Brewdog are increasingly just soullessly corporate and image based. The increasingly "wacky" names of beers are beloved by the same people who reckon "cockwomble" is the apotheosis of patter. I do like the blackheart stout, and the food is decent, but like another poster pointed out, their trying to play the victim when trying to buy council land on the cheap (at a time of savage public funding cuts) turned me right off them. I'm one of those utter weirdos who love English style "real ale". Room temperature, flat and full flavoured. Lovely. Brewdog beer is more Americanised with its low temperature and extreme fizziness. There's the kind of wankiness around "craft beer" that reminds me of whisky bores, with the concomitant snobbery. I wonder if the same snobbery and hierarchy exists among other drug users. "Heroin for Punks" has a nice ring to it I suppose.
